Modelcollect UA47059 IJA Tank Destroyer "Ho-Ri II" with Field Modified Type10 120mm Naval Gun Reverse Landing Operation on Saipan 1/35

Modelcollect UA47059 IJA Tank Destroyer Ho-Ri II with Field Modified Type10 120mm Naval Gun is a unique 1/35 scale plastic model kit representing an experimental Japanese tank destroyer from the end of World War II, featured in an original "what-if" scenario. The model comes from the "what-if" series and is inspired by projects that were considered by the Japanese Army at the end of the Pacific conflict. The set depicts the Ho-Ri II in a field-modified version equipped with a powerful Type 10 120 mm Naval Gun taken from Imperial Japanese Navy warships.

Historical details & alternative scenario

The Ho-Ri II is a vehicle that never made it to the battlefield—it remained in the prototype stage. Its hypothetical deployment in a reverse amphibious operation on the island of Saipan is a fascinating rendition of alternative history, reflecting the spirit of desperate Japanese innovation during the final months of World War II (Pacific front, 1944-1945). The original concept envisioned deploying a heavy tank destroyer against American landing forces, with the main asset being the immense range and firepower of the Type 10 anti-aircraft gun.
